8 Random Movies That Were Way More Successful Than You Thought

One of my favorite sites to visit is BoxOfficeMojo.coman encyclopedic source for Hollywood profits and budgets all neatly arranged and searchable. To me, it's more than just numbers and figures, it's a dive into our collective unconscious, a definitive statement on the bloody cement wall where art collides with commerce. So one of my favorite things to do is see how movies we now consider "classic" or "essential" actually performed compared to the forgotten scraps of yesteryear. The goal here isn't to make a definitive statement on the value of art, I just want to show you two movies and two numbers that "feel" wrong. What can I say? I think it's neat.
